A fist-sized blue-purple magic crystal attracted Sera's attention.
She remembered that this piece of broken magic crystal was used by Lulutis to cut off the magic elements and make it easier to refine potions.
The last time I came here, the spar on the pillar in the center of the study was as bright as a mirror, reflecting Sera's face.
But at this time, the crystals buried in the sand and gravel were already dark, and the dense scratches on the surface were naturally left by the explosion, while the dim color inside was a sign that the power that could suppress the magic power was exhausted.
As an outstanding pharmacist and seventh-level magician, Lulutis needs the magic-breaking crystal of extremely high purity, and now it looks like this...
"Lulutis..." Sera squeezed the spar tightly, feeling worried.
High-concentration magic power condenses together, resonates, disturbs, and finally triggers a magic explosion, which is extremely dangerous for the magician, because this resonance is effective for the magic power in the magician's body, and it is also effective for the scrolls and stone tablets that have been written and engraved.
Also valid.
The triggering of the ritual magic might have been an accident. Sera had the impression that Lulutis's library, pharmacy laboratory, and magic material storage room were very close to each other.
However, the ritual magic triggered is definitely not destructive, which can be seen from the intactness of the ruins.
Although there was an explosion due to the shock wave generated by the magic resonance, the scope was very small, proving that all the magic was burned out in an instant.
There is ritual magic that swallows up all the magic power and completes the ritual. Otherwise, under the surge of magic power, this house will not even be in ruins, but it will evaporate instantly, leaving only a crater.
Sera couldn't tell whether Lulutis was alive or dead, but judging from the traces at the scene, she was indeed in danger.
However, no matter whether Lulutis lives or dies, her things cannot fall into Tanya's hands and remain in the hands of the Solon Empire.
This has nothing to do with the national struggle, and Sera does not intend to use it to help the Theocracy after obtaining these things.
Tanya took advantage of her.
The Solon royal family and nobles targeted her and were afraid of her.
Solon's magical community ostracized her.
Solon's people considered her cruel and ruthless.
There are also people who plan to attack and kill her in order to get the secret of her becoming stronger.
Lulutis has been really miserable these past two years.
If she really died, she definitely didn't want the treasures she left behind to be a blessing to Solon's empire.
The water droplets that penetrated into the ground seemed to have spirituality. They shuttled through the gaps and assisted Sera in sensing.
Under this precise exploration, Sera found all the intact items in Lulutis's collection.
She built a model in her mind and screened it.
Don't take everything away, otherwise Tanya will become suspicious.
Fortunately, Lulutis had introduced many of her collections to Sera before, and she was able to classify them according to the drawings.
And what lies beyond those memories...
A strange box as thick as an encyclopedia was found by the water flowing out of Sera.
Among Lulutis's collections, this was the only one she had never seen.
The box is entirely purple, and the lines and patterns on it look like the branches of countless towering ancient trees, densely intertwined.
After hesitating for a while, she came to Bai Long holding the box.
The rescued Bailong was in good condition, and he knew that Sera had helped him. When he saw her walking towards him, his eyes widened, but he still kept mumbling "Lulu".
"Are you the stupid dragon Lulu calls you?"
When Benlong heard this title, he responded happily: "You know my name, you are Lulu's friend... Where is Lulu?"
Without answering Benlong's question, Sierra showed the box in her hand to Benlong.
"You should come to Lulu's house often. Have you seen this thing?"
"Where's Lulu?"
"So, can you answer my question first?"
"Where's Lulu?"
“…”
Stupid dragon seemed to be unable to say anything else. He kept asking Sera, where is Lulu?
Sera didn't know where Lulu knew such a dragon. Its IQ was frighteningly low.
It is not feasible to tell the truth to the stupid dragon that Lulu's life or death is unknown. Judging from this guy's stubbornness in guarding Lulu's house just now, he will still have to conflict with Tanya.
"Lulu has to do something big and needs to go out for a long, long time."
"Those who beat you just now are thieves. They want to steal Lulu's treasure while Lulu is not at home."
Sure enough, lying is much better than telling the truth.
Benlong put his head on the ground and said aggrievedly: "I can't beat them. I don't want Lulu's things to be taken away."
"Then you have to help me. You don't want Lulu to find that everything in the house is gone when she comes home, right?"
Although the stupid dragon has low intelligence, he still scratched his head with his paw after thinking hard.
"Isn't the house gone?"
Stupid Dragon was obviously confused by the ruins all over the ground.
"These are all illusions. They are illusions." Sera corrected her seriously, "Lulu is a great magician. She made her home look like this. It's just a disguise. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Lulu is smart."
"But someone still saw through Lulu's disguise. They came to steal things. You have to help me hide the things."
"But I'm stupid, I don't know how to hide it..." Benlong said aggrievedly.
Sierra grinned.
"I know, come on, open your mouth."
Stupid Dragon opened his mouth obediently.
The things carefully selected by Sera were all wrapped in the water and floated in front of her.
An object and an independent bubble flew into the belly of the stupid dragon under the guidance of Sera.
The timer of the hourglass was almost over. After confirming that the stupid dragon could still take off without affecting the "bubble" in its stomach, Sierra waved her hand and removed the surrounding water wall.
"The concept of time chosen by God is really good, the hourglass has just run out." Tanya said.
Sera didn't answer, but sighed.
Seeing that Sera, who was so lively just now, was so depressed, Tanya was in a good mood, but she couldn't show it too obviously, so she had no choice but to accompany Sera in her depression.
"Can I go?" Sierra asked.
"Wait a minute."
Tanya stood up and tapped the stupid dragon in the distance with her finger.
"I want to search him."
Tanya walked up to Sera, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Serra, as the chosen one, you are guaranteed to swear by God."
"But this white dragon seems to be outside the scope of your oath, so..."
Chihong stepped forward, and Benlong raised his claws and was about to take action, but was stopped by Sera.
Chihong checked around Benlong, and finally her eyes rested on Bailong's closed mouth.
"Open your mouth." Chihong ordered.
Under the signal from Sera's eyes, Benlong honestly opened his mouth, and a fishy smell hit his face.
The smell above made Chihong couldn't help but cover her nose, irritating her to tears.
After the examination, Chihong was about to step away when Tanya reminded him casually: "Check his belly."
"Tanya, this stupid dragon is a friend of Lulutis. As her friend, you haven't heard of it?"
Tanya looked at the stupid dragon with saliva in disbelief. His ugly face made Tanya unable to believe that Lulutis would recognize such a creature as a friend.
"You don't have any ready-made medicine and you plan to make the stupid dragon induce vomiting. Does that mean you plan to use magic or force?"
After saying that, Sierra once again made the gesture of prayer.
"I, Sera Ophelia, come again, the God of Glory. I swear that there is no personal belongings of Lulutis in the belly of the stupid dragon, and I have never hidden anything in it."
"If you speak falsely, I am willing to be punished by God."
The word divine punishment completely shocked Tanya.
A chosen god even speaks out about divine punishment, and his attitude is self-evident.
Sera closed her eyes tightly and took the oath with a pious look on her face. This sacred scene was seen by the surrounding secret whistles, and they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Tanya was very uncomfortable.
On the surface, this is just Serra proving her innocence and showing that she did not take advantage of the loopholes in her previous oath.
In fact, Sera's oath this time was very serious, as if she was worried that she would secretly persecute Benlong in the name of inspection.
Tanya's scheming, Sera's piety and kindness are in sharp contrast.
An oath lifts her up and brings out her viciousness.
Tanya couldn't express her pain, and waved her hand repeatedly to signal Chihong to come back.
Sera sat on the stupid dragon and waved enthusiastically to Tanya.
"Tanya, next time you come to the Theocracy, remember to play with me."
"Definitely, definitely." Tanya waved goodbye to Sera with a smile on her face.
It wasn't until Sierra left that she kicked over the stool next to her angrily.
"Look, find everything buried under the ruins."
"Lulutis must have a secret, no matter what it is, find it out!"
Tanya's direct descendants emerged from the woods one after another and were busy on the ruins.
The stupid dragon flew crookedly in the air, and Sera was full of confusion about the fact that she was flying with the dragon.
"Are you really a dragon?"
"Yes, my name is Benlong."
Sera was speechless, it was so wrong that he couldn't understand what he meant.
"How could anyone come up with such a name?"
Stupid Dragon said happily: "They all call me that."
"But this is a curse word... no, a curse word for a dragon."
"Lulu called me that too...Lulu won't scold me."
It doesn’t make sense!
While chatting, Sierra discovered that the scales on the stupid dragon were severely corroded and many areas were brittle.
This is wrong. No matter how low the IQ of this dragon is, his body has developed normally. Even if it is malnourished, it should not be brittle enough to make powder.
"What happened to your scales?"
"ah?"
Realizing that Benlong might not even be aware of his physical condition, Serra decided to ask him where he had been recently.
"I have been to many places recently to find Lulu."
"I went to where the goblins gathered, and they asked me for scales. They said they would tell me if I knocked a few scales."
"I gave it, and they told me that Lulu can be found in the frogman tribe in the swamp."
"But the people from the frogman tribe told me that they had to vomit some bile before they could tell me... So I took their magic potion and vomited and vomited..."
"The frogman told me that there are clues near a lake in the west of the forest."
"But the fog near the lake made me hurt so much... I kept looking for it for a long time and met a big slime. He drove me out of the lake..."
"The slime said that I was cheated. I was very angry and had a fight with it. There were too many of them and I couldn't beat it. I was thrown out by the slime king..."
"He also scolded me, saying I couldn't tell the difference between good guys and bad guys."
Sierra was silent.
The stupid dragon can survive entirely because he is a dragon and his vitality is tenacious enough.
In order to remove the scales, the goblins must have used a lot of potions to soften the scales. With their cunning, they would certainly be merciless when bullying fools.
If the frogs want bile, they naturally have to use drugs that are highly irritating and have serious side effects on the body to induce vomiting. It is not known whether there are any added ingredients.
As for the slime who fights the stupid dragon, at least he is also the slime king.
The lake is naturally formed by the accumulation of attribute slime secreted by slimes.
The mist is also a magic set by the Slime King that takes effect and can corrode intruders.
Speaking of which, this Slime King is indeed a good slime. He just drove the stupid dragon away and didn't hurt him much.
But Stupid Dragon couldn't recognize that he was a good slime, and even now he still thinks King Slime is a bad guy.
"No wonder Lulu said you are a stupid dragon..." Sera patted him, "When you get to Theocratic Country, I will help you recuperate."
